The review conducts a comparative analysis of two external security platforms, Halo Security and Detectify, through the lens of Application Security engineers, focusing on Visibility and Context, Assessment, and Usability. It explores how each platform discovers and classifies assets, their technical methodologies for identifying vulnerabilities, and evaluates the workflow and operational efficiency. The comparison is based on feedback from prospective clients and former Halo Security users considering Detectify, alongside information from Halo Security’s official resources, documentation, and publicly accessible demos.
